We all know the importance of getting things right and wearing the right clothes for the right occasion and your School Prom is no exception.

In fact, some would say that your High School Prom night is possibly one of the most important nights of your life to date and choosing the right clothing can be difficult. You need to get it just right, too way out and you can look stupid - too casual and you can look out of place, so the question is ‘What will you be wearing this year for your High School Prom?’

Here at Laurie Hopkins Menswear, Huddersfield - we have over the past few years built a reputation for providing local schools with great prom suit hire.

Most often than not boys will chose a simple Single Breasted Dinner suit and accessorise this with a waistcoat, bow tie or rouche tie (worn with a wing collar shirt) and top pocket hankie and so we have put together a special Prom Suit Hire Package for the occasion which is only £42.50 plus £5 Accidental Damage Wavier.

Take a look at just some of the waistcoats on offer with the Prom Suit Hire package by clicking the link.

. . . . was the question posed on the telephone yesterday.

I had a new customer ring me to see if we had something that was a little different, something that was not just the usual run of the mill dinner suit. He had been searching the internet and had come across the Laurie Hopkins Menswear website where we have many hirewear and ready to wear pictures but he was looking for something a little different. So the question was, could we find him a suitable Dinner Suit before his deadline for the Winter Ball?

From our shop stock he selected a pure new wool Striped dinner suit from Torre (£195),

this dinner suit is amongst our best sellers because it allows the wearer to have a Dinner Suit that is different yet still be discrete and classy. This suit, alongside the traditional White Tuxedo, is a firm favorite with anyone who is going on a cruise.

So if your looking for a different dinner suit or tuxedo, just what is there availabe?

‘Off the Peg’, there are a number of options, obviously there is the stripped dinner suit mentioned above however, we also have availabe an American Range of Evening Suits and Prom Suits that would not look out of place at a glitzy Hollywood Awards ceremony.

Favorites from this range (particularly for those who are looking for a Prom Suit) are the Black and the White Neru Collar (or Mandarin Collar) Suits with no buttons on the front,

the Black Suit comes in a pure new wool fabric and the White comes in a Poly fabric,

both retail at £149 for the Jacket and £59.95 for the trousers and are available in Mix ‘n’ Match sizes, so we can get any size Jacket to match any size trousers or you can also Mix ‘n’ Match the colours.

With the Winter Ball season fast approaching as well as the traditional Christmas Dinners and possibly your Winter Cruise, now is the time to look for a new Dinner Suit but don’t leave it too late or you may find that the ‘different’ garments are no longer available and you could have missed the boat!
